Matt Oxley says Silverstone could be next to ‘cut’ after losing Phillip Island MotoGP spot.

Looking at the 2027 calendar, Phillip Island was removed and the Adelaide Road Circuit was added.It can happen in November 2027.

With this change, there is concern that there may be further changes to the calendar, with districts established as a result of independent media being eliminated.

You are the head of MotoGP, which track would you add to the calendar immediately?

Matt Oxley has named three potential districts ‘for the chop’.

During the question and answer session Oxley Bom MotoGP PodcastMatt Oxley and Peter Bohm discuss what circuits will be cut from the MotoGP calendar.

Following Phillip Island’s removal from the calendar, Oxley suggested Silverstone, Portimao and Motorland Aragon could follow.

Oxley said, “With Liberty, it’s all about improving the fan experience, that’s what they want to do, that’s why they love city racing in Formula 1 and why they want to be closer to cities in MotoGP.”

“The way Liberty sees it, if the track is outside the city, like Barcelona, ​​for example, you can watch the race, and you can go into Barcelona at night and hang out in the nice bars or restaurants. That’s how you see it, sitting in a tent on the field and getting p– and waking up at night and watching the race.

Rightly or wrongly, this concept of freedom is not where MotoGP should be.

Bom asked, “That leaves us in Silverstone. Are you in trouble?”

Oxley said, “Absolutely, yes, I think so… They’ve got to get big crowds at Silverstone, otherwise it’s going to cut it. The thing is, Formula 1 almost left Silverstone for many, many years because Eccleston bothered them. But now it’s a very successful event, with over 400,000 people a weekend.”

Oxley added: “I say Aragon because it has a small crowd and it’s in the middle of nowhere, and Portimao because it has a small crowd and it’s in the middle of nowhere.

Do you believe MotoGP will follow in the footsteps of Formula 1?

Along with Liberty Media, there have been suggestions that MotoGP will change after successfully participating in Formula 1.

Many believe that when it comes to MotoGP road circuits MotoGP Formula 1 is already underway, Carlos Izpeleta does not deny one thing..

“There’s a fear in the media that we’re going to Formula 1-ise MotoGP, and that’s not what we’re trying to do yet. MotoGP is not Formula 1 on two wheels, it’s a different sport, with our unique characteristics and values,” Ezpeleta said.

Liberty Media are notorious for pushing excessive road circuits onto the Formula 1 calendar, something MotoGP fans don’t want to happen on the MotoGP calendar.
